Chris Finch has been immersed in college sports and content creation since his freshman year at Virginia Tech. Working with HokieVision throughout his entire undergraduate and graduate career, Finch has transformed the Davidson College Athletics Department with his ACC experience in just one year.
After becoming Davidson’s Video Coordinator in July 2021, a dual role that involves the ESPN+ live streaming of all home events and content creation for all of the Wildcats’ 21 varsity sports, Finch has elevated all aspects of Davidson Athletic’s brand in his short time with the ‘Cats.
Outside of work, Finch, 26, is a competitive runner, preparing for his first marathon race on April 30, 2023 in Big Sur, California.
